● Migration and/or anti-incarceration policies & impacts on families and relationships
in the wake of global movements and/or a global pandemic
● Effects on families and communities of border separation
● Bodily movement in specific cultures, or across cultures, in liturgy or other contexts
● The impact of embodiment on experiences in various social locations
● Intersectional and/or contextual approaches to theology or aspects of theology that
center those who are racially or ethnically marginalized
